where there is an assembly in existance,
hold demonstrations and celebrations
in honor of the birth of the peO-
PIES government. SIN the line of march
and on YOUR stands and public places use
only one flag-the stars and stripes. Show
to the world that no matter where the
Knights of Labor citizen was born he re-
spects and honors the United States flag.
Show to the world that we are determined
to find out what's wrong in our system OF
government, and that we are equally as
determined to right such wrongs as may
exist, by peaceful and legitimate means
desire also that the question OF the
restoration of the peoples lands to the
care of the people be discussed. Pass
resolutions declaring that holding from
sc, 900, 900 to 6O,OO0,OOO of acres of the
public domain by aliens is sin,
full. Pass resolutions declaring that
every acre of land acquired BY
fraud and perjury is an acre stolen,
and demand that the thief be required to
make restitution to the people. Pass res
olutions never to cease agitation until
good, plain, simple, honest laws shall
govern the holding of land Make the lane
